GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist BUMBLEFOOT Signs With DEEP/BCD MUSIC GROUP - Sep. 5, 2008

DEEP/BCD Music Group has announced the signing of GUNS N' ROSES lead guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. His latest CD, "Abnormal", which was released on July 1 via all digital outlets, will be made available in October. The DEEP/BCD Music Group version of the album will include an exclusive bonus track not available anywhere else.

"Abnormal", the follow-up to Thal's previous offering, "Normal", is a hard rock album flavored with a light-hearted mix of different styles and genres, with catchy hooks and blistering guitar work. It contains "17 powerful, well-delivered tracks" featuring Thal's "incredible lyrics and seriously intense skills on the guitar," according to a press release. Drawing influences from such diverse artists as the SEX PISTOLS, THE BEATLES and FRANK ZAPPA, the CD is "sure to appeal to fans of GUNS N' ROSES as well as musicians everywhere."

When asked about the new project, Thal had the following to say: "It was October last year, I was about to fly into a fucking rage, went to go crash out at the studio, and all these songs just started flying out of my head. Spent the next few months recording drums, bass, guitars, vocals, opera singers and tuba players. Some people heard it and said it reminds them of the SEX PISTOLS with a little BEATLES/QUEEN vibe to it. Didn't have a plan, just did what I felt, and in the end this is what I got."

"Abnormal" track listing:

01. Abnormal
02. Glad To Be Here
03. Objectify
04. Some Other Guy
05. Jenny B
06. Last Time
07. Simple Days
08. Conspiracy
09. Piranha
10. Guitars Still Suck
11. Green
12. Spaghetti
13. Misery
14. Redeye
15. The Day After
16. Dash

Thal made the "Abnormal" title track available for free download at www.bumblefoot.com. Three different versions of the song are downloadable in MP3 and uncompressed WAV format: album version, clean version and instrumental version. The lyric sheet is also provided.

Good news for Ron, congrats.  So can I get that a my local Best Buy?

CONGRATULATIONS RON!!!   :beer:



IMO, this is so unfair.  I already bought Abnormal (more than one copy) and now if I want this "exclusive bonus track" I'm gonna have to buy yet another copy??  That's fucked up!  :rant:

Congrats to Ron and the label. :beer:


seems so
their my space (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=138743154) says

"BCD Music Group distributed titles are available at retail outlets everywhere, including large chain stores like FYE, Best Buy, Circuit City, Sam Goody, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.....in addition to servicing numerous online and digital retailers."

GREEEEEEEAT!!!!!!! :) :peace:

Australia would be awsome...
you cant buy any bumblefoot cds in stores here..

is the CD any good?

To answer this:

All or most of the members have other things going on BIG TIME.

Read what you want into that. Not good.

^

thanks :beer: i might have to pick this thing up

This is a distribution deal.

Bumble hasn't had his albums distributed physically and now that he does, it means that CD is not coming out?

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Why see the negativity in everything?

But what could I expect from a person who has this as his personal text "Guns N' Roses Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy & Steven."...  ::)

Gypsy, Bumblefoot wrote on the topic (http://www.bumblefoot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3925) in his own forum:

Does this mean free pastries, courtesy of Bumblefoot, for all those who already own the album?

 ;D

From your fingers to BBF's ears!!!  FREE COOKIES would be a great bonus too!!!  :yes:
But it better NOT be a chili bonus!!!  :rant:



JUST WANT TO ADD THAT MY COMMENTS (about it being unfair/fucked-up for those of us who already bought Abnormal to not have this new bonus track), WERE IN NO WAY DIRECTED PERSONALLY AT RON and I wish him success in this and all his future endeavors.  Abnormal is a great album IMHO and I'm looking forward to this bonus track.

 

I think hes talking more about Robin, Tommy, Richard and Dizzy being on tour which doesnt really have anything to do with this topic.

It takes a small man to attack someones personal text, instead of simply replying to a post.  ::)

We see negativity in things because there is NOTHING going on in GN'R. Get over yourself Dude!
No news, No CD, No shows = Nothing going on with Gn'R

Wanna' insult my SIG Too?

^
isnt a brand new GNR song being released in a few days? and the album IS coming this year, I garuntee it.

Yes, Hopefully a sign of more to come!

Since you want to talk about replying to posts, tell me what did your post have to do with this topic? This topic that is about Bumblefoot's deal with a distributor, not your negativity about GN'R...

The thing is that people like you, see something good and somehow manage to turn it into something bad.

Instead of being happy about the person that just achieved a personal goal, you're being miserable for the things you can't have. That's what a small man acts like...

I didn't attack your personal text, actually that would be quite difficult for me to do since it won't reply, unless you have some evil way to control it and make it say what you think...

I just tried to find a reason behind your behaviour and I found it in your personal text... I could be wrong but from what I read that's my opinion...

Deep breath boys...remember why you are here.  Buy each other a drink :beer: and lets get back to talking about the band we love.

Congrats to Ron, I am sure if Chidem drops anytime soon, it will drive sales of Abnormal up and help a whole new audience discover him.

Because I see other members have alot going on outside GN'R (Gigs, Albums and Members leaving). Which says ALOT about
what is currently going on with GN'R. I don't have explain it (because you know what it means.)


You found A reason for my behavior in my text? OMG please forgive me, I thought this was a fucking GUNS N' ROSES Message board. not a AXL,Robin,BBF,Tommy,Richard ONLY Board. Yeah you insult my text because I like those people and you don't.  Even though you listened too, bought their CD's and listen to the new members play their songs.

Don't worry man I get what your all about, And thats something I'll never be, a Hypocrite. And Yeah, You're Wrong.

Please, explain!

Are you stupid or something?

When did I say that I don't like the old members?

I'm 30 years old, I grew up with the old band.

But I have accepted the fact that there is another lineup for the past 10 FUCKIN YEARS and I don't live in the 80's. And guess what... I like them too.

You on the other hand seem to be obsessed with the old lineup.

Nothing to do with BBF - but I think I just made the connection between Gn'R and pro wrestling...just look at the 'fights' people have here!  Must be left over frustration from 'Monday night raw' or whatever.  :P  Can't we all disagree in a civil manner?  We are in the end (hopefully) all dedicated fans of Gn'R.

I too would love to hear the 'opinion' on how active solo/side projects are some kind of indication as to what is going on in the band...as long as there is some factual support for that opinion.  I don't think any of us have a clue what is actually going on, and are waiting with baited breath for a {positive} break.

OK, I'm not going to fall off topic anymore. But I will answer your question. (i'm sure you've heard this a million times)
If the members have other things going on, like touring with another band, releasing their own CD's and moving onto other projects.
Then this would (in many minds) mean that The release of CD is not near. Because they are buzy with other things. That's all I ment.
You know sometimes you have to read between the lines with this band, and draw your own conclusions. It ain't like we ALL know
what is going on ALL the Time........they say "A Watched Pot Never Boils".

There's a new song coming out in a few days.

Did any of the solo stuff prevent it from happening? Nooooo...

It's October.  Did the version with the new track come out yet?

I checked on amazon but that one looks like the one I already got through baldfreak.

I also asked on bumblefoot.com so if anyone see the reply there first (or if it's already out), please post the info here too.

:o

Just so nobody else goes into shock like I almost did, this is a Freudian slip on Bruno Poeys' part and NOT on Ron's.  But thanks anyway, Bruno, for passing on the info and jump starting my heart.  :hihi:



Ron's actual quote reads:

:rofl:
i'm sorry, i just did copy and paste and didn't notice that. i really can't tell you what happened! :rofl:

So maybe the Freudian slip WAS on Ron's part and he didn't correct his post on his board until after you had already copy n' pasted it here.   :hihi:


@ Bumblefoot:
Is there something you'd like to get off your chest?  Keeping things bottled up inside is no good for anyone.  :no:
We're all friends here.  You can tell us.  :)
It'll stay right here ... just between you, us and the www.   :-X
